** Official PowerBuilder 11 Launch Tour and Code Camp **
Dear Sybase User;
Please join us on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 for the next Ottawa Sybase User Group (OSUG) special event! OSUG's mission is to create a Sybase community in the National Capital area where users can share knowledge, experiences, and best practices. Users of all Sybase products, including data management, tools and mobility are welcome to attend. This meeting will feature networking opportunities, product updates and a discussion.
With the release of PowerBuilder 11 scheduled for 2007, Sybase will be entering the Microsoft .Net 2.0 world with their premier development tool. Some of our attendees at the October 11th OSUG meeting witnessed Mr. John Strano's overview presentation on PB 11 Beta. Again on January 24th, Chris Pollach presented "Getting Ready for PB11.Net" with an overview of installing, configuring and building .Net applications with PB 11. Chris also disseminated some more code examples and his STD Framework for Winform and WebForm development.
Since then, Sybase has continued through Beta II and has further added a significant amount of new features to PB 11! OSUG is pleased to feature Mr. John Strano on a return trip to deliver a free "Hands-on" day of training on the new rich featured PB 11 along assisted by Mr. David Fish and Jim O'Neil from Sybase USA to expound on PB 11's .Net 2.0 features!. Both Jim and Dave will be co-presenting along with John in the morning and helping out with the Code Camp coaching in the afternoon sessions 
. We will also Sue Dunnell the senior PowerBuilder product manager on-hand to answer questions about the "Power" family of products!
The OSUG May 16, 2007 meeting will be held in Ottawa at Constitution Square in the Queen's University MBA lecture theatre. Constitution Square is located at 350 Albert Street (at Lyon) just across the street from the Crowne Plaza hotel.
